The reason the income gap is over exaggerated is because the gap does not account for differences in occupations, education, job tenure, negotiating skills, and work habits. To fairly assess whether there is an inequality in pay between men and women first we must understand the job fields that men and women are in. Earlier this year the democratic party took the stance of women as they tried to pass the “Paycheck Fairness Act”. (CNN) The fact that the democrats pushed to pass this act might give off the idea that men are getting paid more than women for the same job. While sometimes this may be true we have to acknowledge the fact that this may even be the case backwards as women might get paid more than men in certain fields.
How does this information affect how we interpret and understand “Yellow Woman”? Much of the story centers on the identity of the narrator and cultural identity. I understand is that Silko has depicted the native American literature having egalitarian or matriarchal tradition, but not reinforcing patriarchal stereotypes, As the narrator tries to relate herself with the yellow woman she is trying to break free from the oppressor ------------------------------------------------- Top of Form I love the way that Silko connects the history and stories of her ancestors to immediate family's history and her own life. It makes the stories seems real, as if they can happen in any time-frame or may be happending in the present but with different people playing the characters. For instance, the narrator believed that she may have been the yellow woman, even though she knew that the yellow woman a story that has been around for centuries.

They were considered the “others” during this time in society. After the little change that the Reform Bill of 1832 brought to the voting rights of poor men, several other attempts were made in order to obtain their full rights. In time, all men were able to vote; however, women were still rejected from their voice in society. “A number of people, including many women, believed that only men possessed the intelligence and reason to have a voice in political matters.” (The Women’s Suffrage Movement 1) Women were seen as either useless or only good for taking their husband’s orders. “Men made the laws that gave them control over women’s wages and property, that gave husbands authority over their wives, and that deprived women of the children in divorce.”( Nash 11) It was blatant that women were deprived from a majority of their rights during this time period.

The United States of America has had a long history of an inequality of payment between men and women, even in the current year women are still sometimes paid less than a man is even if they are performing in the same job. However, there are multiple factors that result in this “pay gap”. It is not solely based on gender discrimination as paying a women less than a man and a man less than a woman just because of their gender is a federal crime which is punishable the employer having to either pay a large fine, damages, termination of right of action and even imprisonment. The Equal Pay Act of 1963 can be defined as: “It is required that employees be given equal pay for equal work regardless of sex. In other words, it is illegal for employers to pay women less than men for the same work or for men to be paid less than women for the same work” – Refer to Sources F & G. It is by law, Illegal for an employer to pay a woman less than a man simply because she is a woman.
Inequalities that exist in many social life areas are an indication that there are some disadvantages that women experience in choosing leisure activities (Haywood, Kew, & Bramham, 1995). The most strong disadvantage argument that have been passed across is the one suggesting that the life of a woman is so much oppressed making it very hard to see any importance of enjoying any form of leisure. Thus meaning, leisure may be a concept that is very meaningless to a woman. However, most research that have been carried out on women leisure, have shown that women do have leisure but lesser of it because they face more disadvantages than the men when it comes to leisure choices. The objective of this paper is to look at disadvantages that women experience in leisure choices.
They say that in the world today women and men are equal. But that is not the case. When it comes to media women are always underrepresented, may it be in politics, business, sports, journalism or in television and films. In this research I will aim to find out why this happens, why it is that the world has progressed so much and so have the women but due to some factors they are just not considered as equal to men. Women are under paid as compared to them, they are quoted lesser in terms of new papers, given lesser speaking roles in the case of films and television shows and those are just a few examples.
